Production BMW iX3 Neue Klasse patent images.

iX3 (NA5) info known so far - from future BMW Models Info Thread

• In production 7/25-10/33 in Debrecen with the European 50 xDrive. A single US model will start production in 03/26. Production at SLP starts in the second half of 2026.
• Model range: 40, 40 xDrive, 50 xDrive, M60 xDrive
• 07/26: two new models added, including M60
• Will be the first model to use several new features. The most interesting ones are the Panoramic Stage interface recently previewed in the NK concept (it will be standard) and the Augmented View. The options we're already familiar with will include Iconic Glow exterior, the first use of multifunction seats with massage function on a 3-series level model, and various M features (M packages, M trims, M seats, M steering wheel). At least at this time, there is no autonomous driving beyond Level 2.
• The M60 packaging will differ from the regular model with M suspension and brakes, 21" wheels instead of 20" on the lower models, and several optional features like upgraded seats and audio offered as standard.
• May include ZA5 iX3M.
• Planned NA5 (iX3) model lineup: 40, 40 xDrive, 50 xDrive, M60 xDrive
• Planned NA7 (iX4) model lineup: 40 xDrive, 50 xDrive, M60 xDrive
• NA5 production is confirmed for 07/25-10/33, with introduction to non-European markets delayed to Spring 2026. It will be the first model to use several new features. The most interesting ones are the Panoramic Vision interface recently previewed in the NK concept (it will be standard) and the Augmented Reality glasses BMW plans to bring to market in 2027. The options we're already familiar with will include Iconic Glow exterior, the first use of multifunction seats with massage function on a 3-series level model, and various M features (M packages, M trims, M seats, M steering wheel). At least at this time, there is no autonomous driving beyond Level 2.

Compare to X Concept

[WOBMW]

Looks more like an X1, lower and longer then high and boxy

[X5V8Fan]

sigh

[vmalho2]

All I see is a squirrel and two front teeth....

[Oblivion2kx]

Looks like a rat

[ednir98]

I really need to turn these notifications off...

[zen0s]

Oh gosh... Well, guess sticking with my F generation!

[Macabuca]

Looks like a re-styled iX

[Hansn]

Looks pretty much exactly like the concept. Exited for the sedan/touring versions to be shown. BMW already said they will be almost identical to the concept that they already showcased. There is no reason to expect anything else at this point as we have the actual confirmation here for the iX3.

There is alot of classic BMW in this design. The kidney grille and full lenght grille especially. Very promising.

[LuisBoston]

I love it. Closest we in America will get to an EV wagon

[Cortexiphan]

Looks exactly like the concept.
Super modern yet super BMW.
Amazing.

This is my next.

[AshwinLB]

I wonder if the G45 LCI will bring these neue klasse design elements like they’re doing with the g50 and na01. It does have a very similar (if not same) silhouette

[dfc888]

[GOLFFRR]

hmmm

[Daaaadadundun]

I like how they're going back to the '70's '80's front grill. They seem to be sticking close to the concept just like they said.
I like the direction that they're going. Interested to see the sedan. They're going back to the classic BMW design.

Concept looks sharp. Still not sure about the beaver 🦫 teeth. But at least these designs are more promising than the bland G series.

[resbmw443]

The car on last three images looks great hopefully it turns that way

This was my thought. The side profile looks wagonesque for an SUV. I dig it the more I look at it. Probably will be my next depending on price & lease deals, specs etc. since it does seem like it will only be slightly smaller than the current iX anyway.

[wartnig]

G45 doesn’t look so bad after all… 😆

This squirrel is somewhat more pleasing to the eye than the ‘25 X3.

Yes! The ginormous grills are gone!

[jdhiro]

Overall, I do like the body shape, especially the rear-3/4 view.

I really don't understand the obsession BMW has with the goofy buck-tooth look though. If they just REMOVED that the whole car would look pretty good.

At this point I assume that BMW is just trying to include design elements that are deliberate rage bait to get people talking about the design.
